BOBBIN-HOLD'ERr Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 30, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BURT A. PETERSON, acitizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, inthe county ofW'innebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Bobbin-Holders, of which the'following is aspecification.

. is being This invention relates to bobbin holders used upon spoolingframes and other textile machinery.

The object of this invention is to prevent excessive jumping of thebobbin-as the yarn unwound, and thereby permit of unwinding the yarnat'a, higher speed than has heretofore been possible. This object Iattain by providing the bobbin-holder with a cushioned or yieldingbackstop.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a top plan view of abobbin-holder embodving the features ofmy invention. Fig. 2 is a sideelevation of said holder as arranged upon a spooling frame. Fig. 3 is asectional view taken in the plane of dotted line .33 of Fig. 2.

I have hereinshown my invention as ap plied to a bobbin-holder of thetype illustrated in my application Serial No. 465,391 filed November30th, 1908, but it will be understood that the present improvements arenot limited to use with bobbin-holders of that type..

The embodiment herein represented comprises a bracket 1 which may beprovided with any suitable means fbr securing it in place upon a spooleror other machine, such .as a clamping jaw 2 and a set screw 3, A

indicating the ordinary supporting bar of a spooler frame. To the u perend of the bracket 1 are fixed two paral e1 arms 4 which of thebracket 1. The lower edge of the plate is herein shown as bent to lieagainst the bracket 1 and to space the body of the plate, which iscontacted by the bobbin,

away from said bracket. The plate 6 is thin enough to yield to themovements of the bobbin and to thereby cushion its endwise vibrations.

'Z' are parallel. arms fixed to the bracket 1 and constituting a guidefor the thread being unwound. The outer ends 7 of the arms 7 maydiverge, as shown in Fig. 1 to form. a guide for the insertion of thethread between the arms 7 by the operator.

By reason of the yielding character of the pocket 5 and the backstop anincreased speed of the spooling frame is rendered possible.

It will be understood that the construction of the cushioned backstopmay be modified in various ways Without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

I claim as my invention:

1. A bobbin-holder for spooling frames and the like comprising a supportupon which a bobbin maylie on its side, and a.

-metal backstop plate secured at its upper edge to the bracket andadapted to bear at its lower edge against the bracket, the body of theplate being spaced away from the bracket and being in position to becontacted by the butt of a bobbin. v

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
